Book Description:

"Seek not your destiny, for it is seeking you."

Just a week before their marriage, Christine's fiance calls off the wedding, leaving her heartbroken. With hopes of helping her through a difficult time, Christine's best friend Jessica enrolls them both on a humanitarian mission in Peru, to work at an orphanage called El Girasol -- The Sunflower.

It is while working at the orphanage that Christine meets Paul Cook, a successful and charismatic American doctor who has fled the States after one fatal day took away his career, his faith, and the woman he loved.

Unplanned events lead Paul and Christine into the jungle of the Amazon, where Christine must confront her deepest fears, and she, and Paul, must both learn to trust and love again.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very uplifting! It's a story about love, healing, and helping others - especially children. It's a very beautiful love story!

I enjoyed the settings of the book. I liked the details about Peru and the orphanage. The details really took me there. The love story itself was typical. I enjoyed The Looking Glass more.

Love this book. About a Dr. healing from the loss of his patients and a women healing from losing what she thought was her true love. How they met in the jungles of Peru and the changes they would make because of that meeting, and thier work together to save the street children in Peru.

A quick read but a great story. The two main characters, Paul and Christine, cross paths while working on a humanitarian mission in Peru. Together they comfront their pasts and learn to trust and love again. Characters are developed very well, you feel their emotions. Truly a great story that also makes you feel as though you are in the Amazon experiencing the poverty and the orphanage first hand along with the two main characters.
